“We were just as pleased as could be…..To have our own guide who could tell us about the things we were most interested in, to be picked up & dropped off right at our hotel door, to have the itinery tailored to our own pace & interests, to have all admissions taken care of, to enjoy a leisurely lunch – all these things made this tour far superior to a large group tour.”

Oakwood Tours specialize in group and private sightseeing tours of London and beyond. We not only arrange the standard tours of London, Stonehenge, Windsor and so on. We also arrange special interest tours for our group, private and corporate clients.

All Oakwood special interest tours are bespoke. Our booking department will liaise with the party leader on a suitable tour schedule keeping within timescales and costs.

Below is a brief sample of some of the special interest tours offered by our guides. If you require tours on subjects we don't have guides suitable for, Oakwood will happily hire an expert guide for your particular tour.

As stated earlier, these are just samples of the type of special interest tour you could design through Oakwood. As our special interest tours are entirely bespoke we cannot give prices at this stage. Simply make a free, no obligation enquiry and we'll get straight back to you with a full quotation for the tour.

As with all Oakwood Tours we will pick you up from your own hotel and return you there at the end of the day. You will not have to share the tour with any other parties and you will have the dedicated attention of your Blue Badge Guide for the whole day.

“Oakwood Tours’ customer service rates a perfect 10…..could not have been better. Alex & Bill were both wonderful. We did not feel rushed. We learned a lot. We felt very ‘special’ to have our own tour guide…someone to look out for us & help us see the sites efficiently. The tour sites were wonderful. Nothing can prepare a person for seeing Stonehenge in person. Lacock was lovely, the Abbey so beautiful & peaceful….Wonderful experience."
